I’m of the opinion that the President and his 2012 election staff were absolutely expecting the Supreme Court to toss Obamacare before the election and they’d use that as the one-and-only topic for the entire election. I think they were in a state of shock once Roberts reset the system. They had to continue on and pretend it works as it is.....waiting for this day when there’s a car with an engine, but no transmission.
If you were looking for maximum frustration at the state-level....this is it. Once you chill out the subsidy...people throughout your community and state will get testy real quick. New taxes to repair this? You’d have to invent a 19-percent VAT sales tax like they have in Germany to have any hope of continuing on this whole game.
Which is why I think our politicized supreme court will most likely find in Obama’s favor.
I hope they don’t.
As painful as it will be, I think it will be better to take the hit now so we cab start fixing the damage he has done.
And that works very well...until they determine that with administrative costs and general demand on the system that 19 percent won't be able to pay for healthcare for all. So then they raise the VAT to 25, 30 or maybe 50 percent. At that point, everyone works for the government.
